Penelope's Cafe

As always amazing food with the sweetest staff. Thank you for helping with my mom today. She really enjoyed our day out with all of you.

The best!

Great food, nice people, really great patio!

Good food , nice outdoor seating. Found parking easily at lunch time.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch with a group of 6 today - the owner Penelope herself took time to chat with us about the history of the cafe and her inspiration by European architecture and the atmosphere of Carmel in designing the place (her husband was the mastermind behind that!). May the next 18 years be full of great conversations and great memories, and thank you to Penelope and other staff for making this such a unique gem in the greater LA area!

Great atmosphere, great staff, great food.

A hidden little gem. I feel guilty even writing about it... As if I'm letting the cat out of the bag. Friendly staff and in the words of my own daughter "the chocolate croissant is better than the one at Starbucks."

Great place for lunch! They use the freshest ingredients and I'm never disappointed.

After the birth of my grandson I went here three days in a row to bring my daughter in law a tuna sandwich in the hospital.

This place is such an adorable location. The is indoor seating and out door patio. The food is simple but totally delicious. The decor gives you a warm inviting feeling like going to grandma's house I loved it. I will go back and bring some friends.

Small-town feel, nice ambiance, high-end informal dining. Maybe hard to find the first time around.

It's always delicious!

Cute little place great atmosphere nice food

The atmosphere of the cafe is relaxing and pleasant. You can feel the friendliness of the people who work there.

Very beautiful.
